Built to the ER-P insert style with a neutral hand orientation, it features a 5 mm cutting width and a maximum depth of cut of 3.14 mm, making it well suited for consistent, repeatable groove profiles. The KCU10 grade uses a PVD-applied AlTiN coating over a carbide substrate to provide wear resistance and thermal stability at the cutting edge. A positive rake angle of 10 degrees and the GUP chip breaker geometry work together to promote controlled chip evacuation in a range of workpiece materials.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis insert belongs to the Beyond Evolution series and is intended for use in general turning and grooving applications on CNC equipment. The neutral hand designation means it can be run on standard straight grooving toolholders without a left- or right-hand bias. The GUP chip breaker is designed for finishing to medium grooving passes. Machinists and toolroom technicians working in job shop, production turning, and component manufacturing environments will find this insert a direct fit for precision groove work where dimensional accuracy and surface finish matter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e5 mm cutting width with a maximum depth of cut of 3.14 mm, covering a depth range of 3.00 to 4.00 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eKCU10 solid carbide grade with PVD AlTiN coating for extended edge life and thermal resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGUP chip breaker geometry supports controlled chip flow during grooving passes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePositive 10-degree rake angle reduces cutting forces at the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFull radius corner profile with a 2.50 mm corner radius for smooth groove floors\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eER-P insert style in neutral hand for compatibility with standard grooving toolholders\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBeyond Evolution series — metric sizing, lead angle of 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit insert for grooving toolholders that accept the ER-P insert style.

Power down and lock out the machine spindle before changing inserts. Inspect the insert pocket and clamping screw for wear or damage before installing a new insert. Do not exceed the maximum depth of cut rating, as overloading the insert edge can cause chipping or premature failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: ER-P\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries\u003c\/strong\u003e: Beyond Evolution\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Hand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Neutral\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Solid Carbide\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Grade\u003c\/strong\u003e: KCU10\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: AlTiN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating Process\u003c\/strong\u003e: PVD\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm (0.1970 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.14 mm (0.1235 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Depth of Cut Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3.00 to 4.00 mm (0.1000 to 0.1500 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorner Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.50 mm (0.0980 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCutting Height\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4.86 mm (0.1915 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.48 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5.00 mm (0.1970 inches)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake\u003c\/strong\u003e: Positive\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRake Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLead Angle\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFull Radius\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChip Breaker\u003c\/strong\u003e: GUP\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurement Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Metric\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInsert Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.01 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: KENNAMETAL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6012722\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"KENNAMETAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51730726814002,"sku":"6012722","price":47.11,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/98bde4a57a7c130b0668e20952699978_61a68776-71d3-40bc-a49f-6e7ea81975b8.jpg?v=1788721787","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/kennametal-6012722-grooving-insert-5mm-kcu10-er-p","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
